We have learned with great sorrow that yesterday (December 9th), a mortar
attack perpetrated against a district in Tuzhurmatu of Iraq’s Salahaddin
Governorate, mostly inhabited by the Turkmens, from a nearby mountainous
area, claimed the lives of 2 little siblings and left 7 people injured,
mostly women and children and 5 of whom severely wounded.

We strongly condemn this despicable terror attack targeting civilians. We
wish Allah’s mercy upon those who lost their lives, and speedy recovery to
the wounded.

We emphasize once again that Turkey is in full solidarity with the people
and government of Iraq in the fight against terrorism.
